We run regular gravel rides out into Hertfordshire most weekends. Our rides make use of the abundance of bridleways, canal footpaths, converted disused railway lines and dedicated gravel trails in Hertfordshire. We also stop at some of the best coffee stops. So no need to figure it out yourself – come and join us for a ride. Some of our members also take part in XC mountain bike races, cyclocross and cross duathlons / triathlons.
What bike do I need?
Gravel bikes, mountain bikes or cyclo-cross bikes are all suitable. None of our routes are overly technical, so ride whichever you feel most comfortable on. In the winter, trails can become muddy, and this should inform your decision of which bike to ride and tyre choice. Riding etiquette is similar to road riding, but we tend to give each other more space, and it is more common to ride in a single line on tighter trails.
Cheers
